For those who need this. I think our man Justin Bohn needs a huge thank you. For those who’ve been at it and been launching their balls, stay with it and stay determined!

Best video I’ve watched regarding short patterns.

I think he explained the rule of 31 so well. He even explained how rev dominant or speed dominant can change your breakpoint compared to others as well. Great video JB

Really love these tip videos and explanations. WE NEED MORE... Lol ... Thank you!!!

You are a great teacher bro, very natural 💪

Great video!

Great, great info!

Loved this video. Would love you to do more videos like this.

Excellent instructional video,; almost like watching a Belmo video. Justin, you have excellent communication skills.

Excellent!

Great advice Zane very detailed and easy to understand. I’m using this video to help me. Great job Justin!!!!!!!!!!!

When I used to play, I was a Kevin McCune like player and loved, I mean LOVED short patterns launching it at 17 to 19mph. High game for me was 257 on a 36 footer. Might make a comeback someday and go for 300.

Haven’t a lot of people use the sensor. My first ball and love it as a 2 hander.

Thanks liked subscribed✅✅✅

This was incredible work. Well done.

You know what kind of bowling tip videos I would like? Stuff that is less conceptual and more descriptive. For example, what your body should feel like when you follow tips. Yes concepts are handy to know but when not taught well they are very hard apply.

I go with the 2 in. pin on a medium strength solid reactive instead of urethane.

Thanks for the vid, Justin, but a few questions and comments, please: 1. You mention that, depending upon whether the bowler is low versus high speed or low references high rev, they may have to tweak the rule of 31. However, what is a bowler is both low rev and low speed? For example, I'll throw the ball around 15 miles an hour, but my rev rate is only about 220. in my situation, how then would I tweak the rule of 31? 2. I've noticed that people tend to play short oil patterns in two different ways: either they stand already close to the gutter, and they pipe the ball parallel to the gutter, so it starts as close to the gutter as it needs to be at the break point, or they do what you seem to do with this video stand a little further left--not a lot--and throw the ball out to the gutter down lane where you want the ball to start hooking. Could you please speak to both methods and why you would recommended one versus the other if you do? 3. to the point of my second question, you spoke a great deal about how to read the lane graph for short oil that was very helpful. Thank you, you spoke a great deal about ball choice also very helpful however, you didn't speak a lot about how to actually execute a shot that has to come close to the gutter very close to the gutter. 4. since many people might be afraid of the gutter and also, it's not a shot, you typically play in league even if you are a lefty, do you have any suggestions or drills to practice learning how to throw the ball close to the gutter or even at the gutter? 5. It's very clear and thank you. That urethane would be the bowl of choice to start with on a short oil pattern. However, we've heard endlessly about how urethane carries oil down the lane and since we are trying to get the ball to the gutter, all the way down the lane urethane could potentially lengthen the break point area. Could you speak to how to combat that? After rule, urethane on fresh oil might be the go to ball, but what do you do once this carry down from that urethane? How do you combat it? 6. Last, You mentioned that the purple hammer is a solid cover stock it's actually a Pearl although it looks like a solid. In your opinion, does it matter if the bowler uses a pearl urethane on short oil versus a solid urethane on short oil? And later when there's been carry down, does it matter what type of urethane the bowl or uses? Thank you so much for your time and your advice. Keep doing what you're doing.

What kind of surface are you putting on your Purple Hammer for a pattern like this? I am very new to using urethane so any tips on surface prep/management would be much appreciated!

I throw the pink widow urethane on every oil pattern. It hasn’t let me down yet.

I don’t understand if it’s short oil how come the solid and throwing at far right would work ? Isn’t it going to hook early from lack of oil ? Someone please explain this to me

For short patterns I use two balls, a urethane ball and a spare ball. I move outside and camp.

How can you tell its a short oil pattern

sym solid layout?

You recommend the urethane a lot but what about when they completely ban urethane as most of us hope they will?

I’ve got a fire quantum, kingpin, brainiac, danger zone, and the original mastermind. Would you recommend a purple hammer for my arsenal or a different ball?

Wait, so when bowling on a shorter pattern, using a urethane & a pearl generally works better? And then, when you bowl on a longer pattern, the solid works better? Is that generally correct? 🤔

The ONLY reason I use Urethane is because it wont chip all up around the thumb & finger holes. I have sacked 5 of my polyesters in on a dozen marathon bowling days do to them chipping up so BAD they hit that outside chipped part & dart to the left or to the right when I throw it STRAIGHT down the lane!!! that made me bowl a 143 game on LEAGUE!! last Friday!! I had a 178 avg before that! I bowled just under a 500 series last Friday after I bowled 50 straight games for about 5 hours

FYI, Trouble Maker is a Hybrid, not a Solid
